God påske boss! Ola aka the swissboss still cranking things up in Switzerland! While all the norwegian bosses goes with kvikk lunch and appelsin and kaffe onna de termos, it is still powder for breakfast, lunch and dinner here inna de land of pow and happines!

The påske started with the end of Jo's days visiting Engelberg, and we did some shoots with him before he put his sore ass onna de plane to Brazzil for some quite different hygge... With many of the riders outta here, and Stefan aka Frankenstein deffy outta here for a while with a pretty bad skibase-accident, it was with massif pleasure that Kent aka Kreitler'n decided to return from St.Anton aka Stanton. 

With another 40 cm of fresh powder everything was set for Ola and Kreitler'n to kill the mountain!

Check out the pictures!!

4 days after last snowfall and 1 day before the next one, Ola and prophotomaster Jo tried to find some sweet spots...  

 

Image

... off course involving some cliffs to work on the hard landings...  

 

Image

Wednesday aka yesterday - Kent just got back from Stanton, hooked up with Ola and went up to 40 cm of freshies and bluebird! Massif!! 

 

Image

And once again - the swiss snow is the real shit! 

 

Image

Wednesday and skjærtorsdag - All about faceshots!  

 

Image

Some incredible conditions in Steinberg, and with an all time low when it comes to freeridas, we had the most of the terrain for us self! Sick!

 

Image

Skjærtorsdags morning - Kent & Ola off course first up onna de mountain - enjoying firsttracks in Steinberg all morning!

 

Really no people around... Probably a lot of the regulars was scared away by the avalanche danger which was pretty high... ?

Avalanche danger aka skredfare...? ? ?

 

Where ? ?

 

 

 

Image 

Ahhh!! There it is!!  

 

Image

37 years of experience probably helps quite a bit when it slides... Luckily Kent shares Ola's passion for putting on maximum amount of speed, so it's all good!  

 

Image

Fuck... anotha pocket right there bro! Now Ola the semipropho starting to get nervous - standing really perfect inna de slidezone. Better move!  

 

Image

Oh yeah! The last picture offa de Skjærtorsdag involves afternoon sun throwing sweet shadows, and Kent cruising the last nice untracked wideopen line of the day! Massif!

 

Pictures of Ola By Jo (www.joe.no). Pictures of Kent by Ola aka swissboss. We're now waiting for a nu photographer coming over from Verbier to work with us the next few days! With epic conditions it's for sure gonna be awesome! Be sure to check in for updates!

The winter's still young here inna de swissaland, and the same goes for Ola & Kent - young and strong - oh it's good :-D
